Mount Auburn Cemetery

March 23 [18]69

Dear Sir,

As soon as the ground will permit, please report upon lot no. 3629 Halcyon Av^e -- of late Chas. D. Gibson, for perpetual repair.

I enclose letter of our old friend Mrs Hannah G. Whipple, who does not appear yet to have been "put in that hole in some back corner". There is an order for 1866 by "DLH" -- none for 1867 or 1868 --

The books show charge for 1866 - 5.00 [for] 1867 -- 5.00 [for] 1868 -- 4.00 [total] 14.00

Mr Norcross asked me to send you the note & ask for reply -- Please return note of Mrs Whipple.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge

Capt D.L. Winsor

I sent letter to Mr John A. Parks, now prop^r of the Maverick Hon. E. Boston amounting to $26.50 -- who replies that the Corpⁿ have cut off a part of his lot by the path into Hazel Dell.

His lot is 2319 Central Av^e. Will you please put the tape on to lot, see if he has not still 300 sq. feet?

I should not say judging from the plan that he has lost any land.

A.J.C.

Dear Sir,

I have sent to the Superintendent of the Cemetery & asked him to measure your lot, & he reports that it contains the full measure of 300 feet. But this is a singular objection to be ayed the first time at least ten years after the path was made into Hazel Dell. The path is made upon Corporation land, & the Trustees had a perfect right to make it -- and it is without injury to you.

I am sorry to say that unless you pay the bills presented (which you talk about offsetting by claim for land) I shall have to put them in suit.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Treas^r J.A. Parks Esq
